"Mobile banking will suffer from more [man-in-the-middle] attacks; basic two-step verification will no longer be sufficient." We expect more highly customised targeted attacks that use clickjacking and watering-hole tactics.

Predictions

Mobile banking will suffer from more MitM attacks; basic two-step verification will no longer be sufficient.

Cybercriminals will increasingly use targeted-attack-type methodologies like open source research and highly customized spear phishing, along with multiple exploits.

In the context of targeted attacks, we will see more clickjacking and watering hole attacks, new exploits of choice, and attacks via mobile devices.

We will see one major data breach incident a month.

Attacks leveraging vulnerabilities in widely used but unsupported software like Java 6 and Windows XP will intensify.

The Deep Web will significantly challenge law enforcement, as the latter struggles to build capacity in order to address cybercrime on a large scale.

Public distrust will ensue, especially after the exposure of state-sponsored monitoring activities, resulting in a period of disparate efforts to restore privacy.

We will not yet see large-scale, widespread IoE threats. This requires a “killer app,” which may appear in the area of AR in the form of technology like heads-up displays.
